Hi, All, This is an interesting and rather concerning thread!
One of my motivations for going Quantum was the fabled banishment from critical areas of the insatiable tin worm, yet now it seems that the little bugger finds his way in anyway. Worse still, once in his activities are pretty much hidden from sight save the evidence of a little judicious prodding through the drainage holes. I'm tempted to err on the side of caution and apply sensible amounts of anti-rust primer, followed by a flexible gloss paint (an approach recommended by Spartan years ago for their Trekka chassis, with the use of "Hammerite" discouraged for just the reasons described in this thread). However, I've not got a clue as to how to get at the chassis rails, as they're sandwiched away. What approaches have people used here? Can the floor be unbonded for access then re-bonded? That sounds like it'd be a big job . . . Cheers! Steve. On Tuesday, 17 July 2012 17:47:06 UTC+1, Jim T wrote: > > Hi.
